First, in light of the significantly reduced demand on virtually all railcars in the forest industry--and that involves lumber, pulp, paper, OSB, plywood, etc.--every single sector is currently facing rail rate increases. This is only being accomplished by putting cars into storage and not renewing leases, thereby artificially limiting supply so that they can drive rates in this monopoly system. To us, this not only makes us non-competitive, but makes it impossible to sell to and service customers when these tactics are employed.
